General Notes: Husband - Casper Klein

---

He was probably born in or near Manheim, in Baden, Germany. He emigrated to Pennsylvania, on the ship "Lesbie," landing at Philadelphia, October 7, 1749. Some of the passengers on this ship were from Zweibrucken, Switzerland, but most of them came from the neighborhood of Manheim. A coat of arms in Siebmacher's "Wappenbuch" shows that the Kleins were a prominent family, in Baden, previous to the immigration of Casper Klein. In accordance with the policy of the province of Pennsylvania, Casper Klein, soon after his arrival, changed the German name Klein to its English equivalent, Little. As Casper Little, he was ensign of Captain William Gibson's associated company, of York county, in 1756. These associated companies were emergency organizations formed for the defense of the frontier against the Indians, soon after Braddock's defeat. Mr. Little was a farmer and settled near the village of Two Taverns, in what is now Mount Joy township, Adams County, Pennsylvania.
